Mosquera's assistant, on the triumph against Cienciano in Cusco: “The score was fair”

The celestial cast struck in Cusco and scored the three points. Sporting Cristal won 1-0 against Cienciano in the city of Cusco thanks to a great goal from striker Irven Ávila.

This match between Sporting Cristal and Cienciano, at the Garcilaso de la Vega Stadium, took place within the framework of the 11th date of the 2022 Betsson League 1 Apertura Tournament. In the second half, Irven Ávila appeared to put the advantage for the celestes as a visitor.

It was in 68′ when the popular 'Cholito' scored for Sporting Cristal, after receiving a cross from Leandro Sosa, who gave slightly in a rival, and thus rose in the Cusco area to inflate them and give the three points to his team.

With this score, Irven Ávila scored four goals so far in the Peruvian first division league season.

After the final whistle in Cusco, Claudio Bustamante, Roberto Mosquera's assistant, made an analysis of what happened in the match on the 11th.

“It was a tough match, with the pointer, you can see that he has football arguments for which he is the leader. We had planned to keep zero and from there, to be able to create the opportunities we have and to be able to capitalize on them in the best way,” explained the member of the technical command of the 'Celestes'.

“We are very happy, because we thought we had a good match. I think that the circumstances of the match make it develop differently. We wanted to keep zero in the sense that at height the ball runs differently. The players on the home team know their court and take advantage of their climate,” he added.

For the technical assistant at Sporting Cristal, the team complied with the instructions on the pitch in detail and that led to the achievement of the objective during their visit to Cusco. “We were slightly retracted, but our intention was to stay away from our goal and we congratulate our rival. We think the score was fair, we did smart things and we solved the right way.”

In the same way, Claudio Bustamante detailed the reason for saving some of his figures for the second half: “We had very important players on the bench, like the case of Christofer Gonzales, because it gives us a lot of air when we don't have the ball. It was part of the plan to have these spare parts to maintain the result.”

Finally, the technical assistant emphasized that the win will help with emotion for the next presentations of Sporting Cristal. “There were matches that we played them quite well and the results were not accompanying us, causing frustration. Now, it definitely changes the countenance a little, because the effort of the boys is reflected. I thank Professor Roberto Mosquera for the trust and teaching,” said Bustamante.
